DESCRIBE

Trung Island is recognized as the largest bird sanctuary in Southeast Asia because it gathers more than 80 different bird species. From afar, the island is covered with bird droppings for a long time, creating a pure white color just like an egg. That is why the cute name Hon Trung Con Dao was born. For those who love nature and want to explore and learn about birds, Hon Trung Con Dao is definitely the ideal place for you to experience that. Although it does not have many beautiful beaches or interesting games, Hon Trung Con Dao paints a picture of an extremely vivid natural world.
